TERMS OF BUSINESS
These terms shall govern all contracts between the Company and the Client. No variation to these terms such as reduced fees of introduction or release shall be binding unless in writing and signed by an authorised official of the Company. The engagement of staff or the interviewing of staff intended to be engaged on a temporary or permanent basis shall be deemed as acceptance of the Company’s Terms of business. The Company may request details of the Client’s Bank or other information so that a credit check can be undertaken. The Company reserves the right to withdraw its services at any time without prejudice to the payment for those services up to that time.
TERMS OF BUSINESS FOR THE PROVISION OF PERMANENT STAFF INTRODUCED BY THE COMPANY ACTING AS A RECRUITMENT AGENCY
1. a:The Client will provide a full job description and full instructions as to its requirements for each candidate.
b: The Company will endeavour to introduce suitable candidates based on this information. Whilst care is taken, the Company does not in any way warrant the suitability of fitness of any candidates for employment by the Client, nor the accuracy of any information supplied by the candidate. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure the take-up of references, arrangement of medical examinations, obtaining work permits and to ensure that the candidate is suitable for the position under consideration.
c: The Agency endeavours to ensure the suitability of any applicant introduced to the Client by obtaining confirmation of the Applicant’s Identity, that the Applicant has the experience, training, qualifications and any authorisation which the Client considers necessary or which may be required by law or by any professional body; and that the Applicant is willing to work in the position which the client seeks to fill.
2. If the Client engages, in any capacity, a candidate introduced by the Company, the Client shall be liable to pay an introduction or presentation fee (incl. VAT) to the Company at the time of appointment. The Company will invoice the Client for the fee on the day the candidate commences employment and payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date.
3. FEES:
The agency charges fixed fees for permanent placements. The fee currently stands at 10% of the worker’s annual remuneration, per worker placed for the first 10 successful placement. Any subsequent placements will be charged at a negotiable rate with the client based on history of payment, relationship with client, his position on the market and the need to recruit more workers in the long term. The same payment terms and conditions will apply. The fee will be invoiced to the client and should be paid within thirty days from the date the worker has commenced his/her employment.
The fee amount can be changed /negotiated only by the company director and any document reflecting any fee alteration must be signed for by the director.
The Client undertakes to notify the Company immediately of its intentions to engage whether directly or indirectly any candidate introduced or presented by the Company.
If the Client fails to notify the Company, the Company shall be entitled to charge the Client in addition to the above fees an additional fee calculated at the rate of 3% of the introduction fee referred to above. In such a case, should the candidate leave, the Client will not be entitled to a rebate.
4. The above charges apply to both contracts of employment and contract of services and it is up to the Client to engage the worker in either. The company has the right to charge interest on overdue accounts from the due date to the payment date at the rate of 4% above the Company’s bank’s base rate, or if applicable, such rate as is prescribed from time to time by the Late payment of Commercial Debts (interest) Act 1998.
This interest will accrue on a daily basis. If, the candidate should leave the Client’s employment within the first 8 weeks of commencement of employment, the Company may, after taking into consideration the reason for the candidate leaving, allow a rebate for the introduction fee.
The Client must inform the Company, in writing, within 7 days of the employment terminating and the fee must have been already paid in full. Otherwise no rebate will be given. The rebate is calculated on a sliding scale:
Replacement of permanent staff:
If, by no fault of the Client the Worker decides to leave or the Client finds the Worker highly unsuitable and wishes to replace the worker with another candidate from us instead of receiving a rebate, we will present a new candidate and replace the old one free of charge within the first 3 months of commencement of employment. This is done at our discretion, if we find that communication between the parties was impossible and there was a clear fault on the worker’s side.
Introductions made by the Company are confidential and must not be disclosed by the Client to third parties. The engagement of any candidate by, or arranged by, a third party to whom the Client has disclosed such information supplied by the Company, will render the Client liable to the payment of the introduction fee which would have been due had the candidate been employed by the Client on the same terms. The Company shall not be responsible in any way for loss (including loss of profit, business, contracts, revenue or anticipated savings, loss or waste of management time or any indirect or consequential loss), damage or expense incurred by the Client, its staff or property arising from or in connection with the use of the Company’s services or caused by the acts, errors or omissions of any candidate even if such an act, error or omission is negligent, fraudulent or dishonest. Nothing in these terms shall have the effect of excluding or restricting liability for death or personal injury resulting from the negligence of the Company. The Company expects the Client to be fully aware of all current laws relating to discrimination, victimisation or harassment due to race, colour, nationality, sex, marriage, disability, health and safety or working time and that it has given the appropriate training to all members of its own staff that may be involved in selection, supervision and control of candidates supplied. The Client shall indemnify the Company against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses incurred in action taken against the Company in respect of any member of the staff employed by the Client. If any provision of these Terms is held by any competent authority to be invalid of enforceable in the whole or in part the validity of the other provisions of these Terms and the remainder of the provision in question will not be affected. No waiver by the Company or any breach of these Terms by the Client will be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under these Terms will be in writing addressed to that other party at its registered office or principal place of business.
These terms will in all respects be governed and construed in accordance with English Law and the Client agrees that any dispute will be settled in English Courts.
